A Hard World for a Cat.

This is the very worst world that |
ever got into. l declare a cat can't do
single thing but what some one gets
after it. This morning, when ] woke
up, felt thirsty. As like fresh water,
l was just ready to take a cool drink
from the bucket, when ! heard scat"
Well of course l had to run. As |
could not get the water, / went to the
spring house. There was nice pan
of milk Oh the table. took drink
from this pan. Before l knew it, Mary
Jane gave me an awful slap.
Iran into the yard and stayed there
till felt hEngry. Then | tried to catch
a mouse or rat in the barn, but none
came out.
went into the dining room 10 see
what could get to eat. No one was
there, 50 what could | do but to help
myself. As I could not see what was
on the table, | jumped upon it.
There stood Il plate Of meat. Now
like meat, but do not get it often.
SO l was eating finely when quick
as thought l was thrown out of the
window.
l think the girl treated me very rude
ly. Don't you think so?
BY this time ! felt fired, and as the
baby lay in a very soft bed, thought
would lie down beside her.
What did the baby do then but
scream, and her father came to see
what was the matter.
! saw | had better get out Of the
way. He threw his slipper at me. |
heard him say: "Jack, if you don t
make that cat stay in the barn, I'll
drown her.
When heard him, ! thought it best
to 90 to the barn and stay there.
don't dare go near the house for fear
of being drowned.
Now ask you, my friend, if this ia
not hard world for cat 10 live IMP

MORE DANGEROUS THAN LIGHTNING.
A Short Sermon on the, Foolishness
of Putting up lightning Rods.
Carolina Spartan


About the time the first heavy thunder ia
heard in our county, the lightning rod man
with his sprightly team and painted wagon
will be around It Is wonderful with what
ease he can persuade a poor fellow TO put q
forty dollar rod, with a brass ball on the top,
to a thirty-three dollar house. Then these
sellers of lightning rods know nothing about
the laws of electricity, the value Of lightning
rods, or the proper manner OF putting them
up. They do, however, understand the art OF
pc rsuading timd people TO save their lives by
putting upa rod. Money Is no object with
them. A mortgage will answer. They gen
eritlly charge about forty cents foot for the
rod when it costs only a few cents pound:
Any man with three grains Of sense can put
one up as we'll az these travelling fellows The
fact Is half of them are no protection any
way. and some of them are q disadvantages.
II You think you need u rod to your house,
first talk to some man. like Prof DuPre. or
Wofford College, and learn all you can about
the matter Then buy your own rod at the
hardware store and put 1t up yourself. RISK
the lightning every time, rather than the
lightning rod peddlers. 1t Is not half as dam
oerOuS,
